    I recently acquired these vintage binoculars from my father. They either belonged to him or his father. Does anyone know how I can determine who the manufacturer was? The only markings I can see are:
    7x50
    68941
    rtn

    I have no interest in selling them due to sentimental value. However, I’d love to know more about their history.

      They were made in Germany by a division of Raytheon The local was Holdstadt or something similar. Memory fails me.
